Discover the expressive power of charcoal in this plein air workshop, guided by Connecticut artist Christina Biroscak.

Explore additive and reductive approaches to charcoal, composition, and atmospheric depth while drawing directly from nature. This class includes short demos and plenty of hands-on sketching amid the Blithewold grounds and gardens. All levels—from adventurous beginners to seasoned artists—are welcome.

Rhode Island’s own General Nathanael Greene does make the history books, but he is not given enough credit. If he is given credit, it is just for his command of and strategy employing the patriot forces in the south during the last few years of the war. He is not given enough credit for his accomplishments in over two years as Quartermaster General heading the army’s logistical system, nor for the high esteem in which he was held by Commander in Chief George Washington. Giving him due credit, this lecture will examine his life before the war, his many contributions in the war, and his life thereafter.
Part of the Warren 4th of July 250th Celebration
